Banger Games is a company that is facing being sued by Krafton in court for using the name PUBG illegally.
So when the news of Banger Games partnering with PUBG appeared, fans were excited but it seemed to be fake news. There are even discussions about introducing an exclusive alpha test for participating players. However, Krafton has stated that they are not affiliated with this company and are considering suing Banger Games for using the unauthorized name.
Banger Games is likely to be sued.
Many crypto and gaming news sharing sites have made various posts about the partnership but all are incorrect. Banger Games even designed a fake poster using images from the game to paste the PUBG logo to convince users.
The game modes in the game Alpha announced so far are:
+ License to Kill: Mad Max: Rewards gamers for killing many people, with “piercing” shots that will bring extra points. The goal is to get into the leaderboard and there are only 10 spots on this list.+ There’s No Going Back: Kill Frenzy: Players will be rewarded for hitting multiple opponents with their car.+ The Guilty Shall Suffer: Ghost Killer: The system will reward players if they use sniper rifles to kill them from a distance. The larger the distance, the higher the score.
PUBG is taking advantage of the image.
A representative of the Korean game company said that Banger’s platform is completely unrelated to Krafton, the company that develops PUBG, and the reports from foreign media are completely false. The report also mentions that there is a possibility that Banger Games is a “phishing site” for leaking personal information, meaning testing Alpha games just to get personal information from users.
In other words, Banger Games used the game to advertise NFT without permission and this is a violation of the law in the Web 3.0/Gaming space. Krafton is currently in the process of investigating the cases and considering filing a lawsuit.
In a recent development, the CEO of Krafton India welcomed the government’s recognition of Esports, reaffirming its commitment to the future to develop this segment.
